12:28 | <jub0bs> | The Fetch standard states the following
and it also defines authentication entries as follows:
However, unless I'm missing something, not all authentication entries count as credentials in the sense used by CORS. For instance, Is the Fetch standard accurate in that respect? What am I missing? And if only some authentication entries count as credentials, is there some authoritative list of them? |
15:07 | <annevk> | jub0bs: I'd support a PR renaming "credentials" to "user-agent-bound credentials" |
15:08 | <annevk> | There are indeed many other forms of credentials, but they're not mediated by the user agent in some fashion |
